Julia Chen

I am a Senior AI Policy Specialist at the Simon Institute, where I conduct AI governance research with a focus on China's AI safety and regulatory landscape.

Born and raised in the UK, I spent six years working in Beijing at ByteDance, Amazon Web Services, and Concordia AI. I have advanced Mandarin and am comfortable working across cultures and sectors.
